Jefa Rudder Systems 6T073 GRP-PETP self-aligning bottom roller bearings type 6T

Technical Specification

Features:
  • Make: Jefa Rudder Systems
  • Model code: 6T073
  • Type: Rudder bearing
  • Shaft diameter: 73 mm
  • Construction: PETP
Additional info:

The 6T series bearings combine a very simple installation with a very smooth operation under all circumstances as the bearing will always be aligned to the rudder shaft. The bearing is made of PETP (also known as Arnite, Ertalyte, Sustodur & Ultradur) in a GRP tube, allowing it to be laminated directly into the hull. A separate rudder tube is not required as the bearing housing is designed to extend above the boats waterline. It must be sealed to the rudder shaft with a gaiter. In the case of female moulded production boats the bearings housing can be mounted into the hull mould before lamination and gel coating begins. After gel coating the hull is laminated as usual with the exception that the hull laminate runs up the side of the bearing housing.
